About

This off grid adventure is for those who want to actively participate in every aspect of their experience with the highlight being learning to run your own small team of sled dogs through miles and miles of beautiful trails in the remote wilderness of northern Minnesota. Step by step instruction is provided and there is an atmosphere of encouragement, support and team work. A lot goes into an off-grid, solar-powered lifestyle with sled dogs in a remote location and you will get to experience most aspects of it during your stay. In addition, if you have any energy left, there are numerous other activities available to you that include snow shoeing and cross country skiing. (Please bring your own equipment.) This adventure is limited to SIX participants so that each receives the maximum in hands-on experience and one-on-one instruction.

Dog Sledding Tours. You’ll be immersed in the lifestyle of a north woods dog musher once you arrive at our off-grid homestead tucked away in the remote wilderness of Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region. This promises to be an experience of a lifetime!

Our dogs are highly trained and socialized and are the stars of the show. Come and cuddle with our sled pets!

The Points Unknown sled dogs are friendly and exuberant and always up for adventure. You’ll not only be taken by dog sled for an adventure on our bush trails deep in the woods but you’ll learn how to properly interact with the sled dogs, harness them and hook them up to the sled. For those dog lovers, there will be plenty of cuddle time with the sled dogs.

We’re located 7 miles up the Arrowhead Trail on Irish Creek Road in Hovland, which is 19 miles northeast of Grand Marais, MN, USA. Directions will be sent at the time you book your adventure with us.

Our adventures are from 1 1/2 hrs in length to four days. We'll customize your experience to meet your needs.

Prior to your experience, we’ll chat with you about what you can expect, how to dress and if you have any special needs of which we need to be aware, all done so that your time with us can be most fulfilling.
